Ttc after recent mc, for Creme egg scoffers, shared confusion and joint cursing of mother nature

[Thundercatsarego]

I couldn't bring myself to call her a bitch, we still need her help! Come on ladies, let's do this thing....

You've got to love the comfy belly smacking granny pants tho! Saggy you do make me laugh! 5 minutes!!! Your such a lucky girl lol remember get on your back with your legs in the air for 20 minutes after!!

Booty - yep, and I can't even cheat as stashed tests in the room my parents are staying in! Clever hey?!

Fod hope you haven't still got your legs up...that would be one marathon sexing!

Am loving this thread - it really puts me in a positive mood. It'll be 2 weeks tomorrow since ERPC and have yet to DTD as still bleeding (very light and on and off now), don't want to risk infection and tbh really haven't been in the mood. All that's changed now! Can't wait for the TTC to begin! Going to buy some ovulation sticks on way home from work :)

Eek garden and booty!! ive even scheduled an After work trip into town so i can get a test (Unless AF has shown) God I'm so impatient!! I woke up thinking it was Thursday!! Didn't sleep a wink last night and all sniffly this morning...those are symptoms right?!

Hope there was lots of baby-making last night.
Still feeling ok this morning, hardly any bleeding last night so fx I can be on the wagon soon too. V worried that with my week away next week I'll miss the window completely :(
So I need to store up as much sperm (hah! Just got auto corrected to spermicides, which is NOT what I want) as possible and hope for a slow, dormant, female one.
The more sensible thing to do would be to just resign myself to missing this cycle and go for a 2014 baby... And so not be disappointed when af does show up.

Speaking of af, hope it doesn't show up for anyone today. Especially with those nice knickers on

Janie you can have those symptoms if I can have 'so hungry just had to eat 2 choc cookies after breakfast'....clearly I am eating for 2?!

Oh nice one garden we're so obviously pg keeps everything crossed and might eat cookies too

Well! Im full of posifrickintivity today! The sexing up was FAB! we even manages a whole 5 and a 1/2 minutes! Im taking this as a good thing, as Im usually horny as hell when I ovulate! sorry if thats TMI
Im happy, now though, although we have DTD before, I was really feeling like Id lost my mojo!
So, anyway, FX for Garden, Janie, Fod and ME!
On a serious note, I caved last night and bought some ovulation sticks from Ebay. Any tips on using them?

Nice knickers are still in one pretty piece woop!! I'm not checking very often only every 20 mins or so

Garden haha at having them in parent's room - ace idea

I'm having lots of CBA (can't be arsed) symptoms at work today which I'm putting down to almost being on maternity leave due to almost being pregnant

Hi Saggy, I have used bog standard ovulation sticks from eBay. Not complicated just time consuming. The ones I had (basically a little strip) I had to wee in a container & place stick in and wait 30 minutes for reading. You also have to take your reading at a certain time of day - cant remember when but what I do remember is that it said not to do it first thing which I found odd! I've now gone and bought Boots ovulation sticks that work just like a pg test - expensive but worth it for my lazy arse!

Well technically speaking , If we DTD last night and it worked, Im already pregnant and have been for at least a week! And, I also CBA!

Joining the CBA After 2 weeks off on holiday, I'm even less motivated about work than I was before. Normally, it should work the other way...

Loving the posifrickintivity here!

So, anyone going to poas on Saturday? I'm on 10DPO, temps are still high, and no sign of AF yet... According to FF, she should arrive today, but I'd say Thursday/Friday would be more likely. Trying to steel myself not to test early. Although the FR tests have arrived and are sitting in my bag here at work with me as we speak! Must resist...

saggy You start testing daily from around CD10-CD12 with the OPKs, until you get a positive. Just don't do it first thing in the morning, as the LH get produced during the day.
I found that with my OPKs, I must not ignore the faint line, it's usually a sign that I'm about to ov, so I tend to test twice a day once it appears.
But it probably depends on the brand.

Jbrd join the Friday testing club!!!

thunder might fish slap you if you test on a different day heehee!!

I love this thread - it's making me smile this morning

Right! getting into this Posifrickywositty stuff after feeling miserable yesterday that AF had got me.

I have : ordered more CB tests, reset CBFM, ordered some pre-seed lube stuff and ordered DH to get ready for extra sex festival action prior to his boys weekend away at the end of the month.
(Am in an ordering mood can you tell? - good job I'm working from home today or the office would be in trouble) This IS the month I get a BFP, I WILL be having a baby in December. Come On!

Keeping fingers crossed for Fertile Friday Garden, Janie, Fod and Saggy

JBrd that sounds really quite promising
I'm feeling so positive for you all, that I'm convinced that I'll be the only one NOT pregnant by April.

Because I am a selfish cow, I'm now feeling all jealous :(

Uh oh - hormone crash on its way?

Yay for CBA! am at home recovering today, but back to work tomorrow.... feeling CBA already

oh I am definitely crazy. this is what just flashed through my mind:

such a pity that i'm going to be overseas when i ovulate this month maybe i can pay 850 quid to bring the family with me? no not possible hmm well maybe i can steal some liquid nitrogen from work and freeze some of dh's sperm then use it for AI when i'm away.

Seriously????
smacks self across the face

chocolate your ordering spree sounds much more sane

Im off out now! Mum is making me go out walking! Stupid wman thinks she is bleeding Ranulph Feinnes! Its like the arctic Tundra out there today, and the wind is enough to strip the meat off your bones!!! Wish me luck, and if Im not back by teatime, send out a dog sled to look for me!

If I should die, I'd like someone to donate my body to science fiction.

haha saggy. request noted. don't have dog sled to hand, but might be able to rustle up a cat?

I've got a 3 legged cat but he might pull the sled round in circles ha!

Fucking Hell! The woman is insane. She wanted to do a 10 mile hike across ploughed fields and snow drifts! Theres a wind chill of -5 and its blowing a hooley!
I got to the crossroads and threw a tantrum!
In the past 6 weeks, Ive had the MC, a GA for an op on my ears, and the dreaded zombie virus. I think she is trying to kill me!
My positivifrickinty has gone right out of the window now!

hmm. cuddle up underneath a blanket with a book? That always cheers me up.
In fact, off to do that right now.
Have spent the morning sewing dresses for my DD and a friend's DD. They look fab!
but deserve some me time now :)

Hello ladies - nice to see some of you were busy last night :-) fingers crossed for you all.

I too CBA today - it is so busy at work I have decided it would be easier just to sit on MN all afternoon!!

We are still DTD every other day - not had a positive OPK yet but I am looking for other ovulation symtoms too. Question - I have the cheapo ones from ebay too and dip them into a container of my wee (sorry to anyone eating their lunch!) but only leave it in there for about 10 seconds - am I doing this wrong - should I leave it in longer??? I REALLY hope I get a positive pregnancy test this cycle as while DTD every other night sounds good and me and DH feel very close to each other (and all that other lovey dovy waffle).....I am shattered!!!!

Hope you guys arent too effected by the snow - I'm near Cambridge and we had some yesterday but its all gone now - it is chuffing cold though!! xxx

Did a pg test and got a BFN so obviously all pg hormones gone. Still got slight spotting (once, twice a day, brown - sorry if tmi). Will be 2 was tomorrow since ERPC. Should I put off TTC until I'm confident all spotting has gone? Getting fed up of the blasted spots!!

alyant - the 2013 bus has NOT left yet. I know the dates well because DC1's due date was the very end of December. If you miss out this cycle, then as long as AF arrives by 26 March you will have an EDD of 31 December 2013.

i have not been obsessing over the same thing myself

I didn't DTD last night because I got overcome with CBA (well, I was knackered and fell asleep) - but I'm another one who gets ridiculously horny when I ov, so I'm pretty sure I ov'd at the weekend. Come on supersperm. Fertilise me!!
